Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine the application of modified low-potassium dextran (LPD) solution in heart-lung transplantation.
METHODS:We used the modified LPD as the lung flush solution of the donor in the first heart-lung transplantation procedure in Hunan.
RESULTS:The patient survived 555 days after the surgery and severe infection, lung disfunction or severe graft rejection never occurred.
CONCLUSION:Modified LPD as lung flush solution of the donor during heart-lung transplantation demonstrates an excellent effect of lung protection.
